A look at Diddy’s exclusive neighborhood in Miami Beach: ‘This is an intimate space’

A late Monday afternoon shocker — even for 305ers: Two of Sean Combs’ homes were raided by federal agents as part of an investigation into sexualmisconduct allegations against the rapper.

One of them was in Los Angeles and the other in Miami Beach, on Star Island, one of the most exclusive communities in the country.

Not only is Star Island private, pristine and stunning, it has history. Completed in 1922 by the Army Corps of Engineers by dredging sand in Biscayne Bay, the man-made parcel of land was initially owned by developer Carl Fisher. Soon after famed architect Walter De Garmo built the island’s first mansion, the global elite began to take notice. (The 1924 Mediterranean Revival beauty was sold in 2021 for a cool $39 million.)

Combs is a veteran of the enclave, having owned 2 Star Island for over two decades. The music mogul’s seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom waterfront crib was built in 2002. He bought it the following year via an LLC for $14.5 million, according to Miami-Dade property records. That is the one that got the dramatic, unexpected visit.

In July 2021, Combs spent $35 million for the adjoining place, 1 Star Island, previously owned by local superstars Gloria and Emilio Estefan.

Miami Herald photographs show Monday’s chaotic scene at the compound, with cops and feds everywhere; lit up patrol cars parked out front; and a fancy metal gate damaged.

This was an unusual sight for this tidy, lush paradise that is along the MacArthur Causeway and is only accessible by a 24-hour guarded bridge.

Past and present highwattage residents include Shaquille O’Neal, Rosie O’Donnell, Don Johnson, Enrique Iglesias, Lenny Hochstein (“Real Housewives of Miami”) and most recently, Rick Ross, who dropped $35 million last summer for a 12,400square-footer.

“There is only one Star Island, and we know the buyer will be so happy with his new residence on the much-sought-after island,” Kimberly Knausz, global advisor at ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, told the Robb Report after

Ross’ purchase.

When Ross was moving in last July, he was welcomed by Combs, who presented his pal with a golf cart as a housewarming gift.

On Instagram, the two neighbors documented their amusing exchange, which soon went viral.

Along with the vehicle, Diddy gave the Carol City
